Before Then After  (Things Are Getting Heavy!)

Just me taking the mickey out of one-liners back in the 90's.  Finally got around to turning these ones it into a song.

https://the-lost-connection.com  is the place to learn about me and my history.  Although I am just a Warehouse Picker, I am also a songwriter/keyboard player (IPI.  1069682323).  I have written over 1000 song lyrics since 1989 and have released 12 albums.  My productions have never been good enough to promote and I'm happy being an unknown artist, writing and recording music for pleasure rather than as a professional.  In April of 2017 I created my own website.  If you are interested in my songs and songwriting then let me know and ‘like’ where appropriate.  

I released my first album, 'Lost Property' in December 2019.  then by February I released 5 Best Of albums which contained 87 tracks which I'd recorded between 2011 -2019.  In March I decided to release another album of songs which I'd recorded on tape (1994 - 1998) although 'Love Music' was updated in 2018 and the poem 'Arrival... In Due Time' was recorded to complete the 'Reality In Dreamland' story.  

'2020 Vision' is the final album release for 2020.  This contains the single 'Voluntary Redundancy' which is very significant in regard to the album and the year in general.   Plans to collaborate more are very much my objective for the next year(s) to come.  

The next album release was  'New Lost World 19-20-21' (released on 1-9-2021 and features songs recorded in that 3 year period) which does feature one song that was re-written in a collaborative format.  Many of the songs were recorded or re-recorded) during my year break after redundancy.

Soon after 9th album, I released 'The Lost & Found History', which was a duo that never had enough time to get ideas up and running, but the recordings brief recording moments occurred and this album shows the results.  The recordings were 1999 - 2013.  Other songs were meant to recorded but we never found the time.  

Progress was made during the COVID years few and 'Whatever Happened' is an album that reveals the the results of attending a sync-writing course for 6 months, writing to briefs and collaborating, mixed with personal, poignant and humorous songs.  it features lyrics from as far back as 1990. Before the release of the album 2 singles were promoted on Spotify: Won't Stop' and 'I Am Just Me'.  I am glad to reveal that the album will contain another version of 'Won't Stop' but called 'We Won't Stop' featuring Tim (the other half of The Lost & Found') on guitar and vocals (and co-writer of the music).

I may promote 'Voluntary Redundancy' from 2020 as I never gave it much exposure when first released.

Prior to focusing on my website and my  own releases I was in a heavy rock band...

At the beginning of 2013 I became the keyboard player with Innovator.    At the beginning of 2015, 'Time Is Running Out' but the first album was recorded before I joined the band.  'Spare Time' I introduced to the band and it was modified into an Innovator collaboration.  The song has been pre-recorded in it's original musical format , but lyrics amended since 2009 and is on '2020 Vision'.  A single was released on DistroKid in January 2016 for which I had a very big influence, called 'Southern Lady'.  It was a variation of a piece of music called 'The Lost And Found' recorded as a song many years before, but never released (as vocals not added until more recent years).  On this SoundCloud site I have deleted all the Innovator songs as I left the band in June 2017.  ‘Trapped Behind The Looking Glass’ was the 3rd album whi ch was released in August 2018,  on which I played on 6 of the songs and did backing vocals on ‘Dogs Of War’ (the very deep ones on the chorus).   The songs which I contributed to mostly were:  ‘Spare Time’ and ‘Southern Lady’ (and a slight influence on ‘I Can’t Take it').
